Also: Freezing right away when you stop moving at 8k altitude? I was just skiing at 11k and it never even crossed my mind.

- ghaff 7mo agoNot right away. But a lot depends on the wind.
- jhellan 7mo agoThe article says meters, not feet.
- MagnumOpus 7mo agoYes. They were talking about 8,000 metres of altitude. (Talking about Mallory should have been a clue too.)
- Scarblac 7mo ago8k meters. There is no place at 11k where you can ski.
- idontwantthis 7mo agoYou could be on skis they might make it harder to control your parachute.
- skithrowyouknow 7mo agoMy friend skis make it easier to use your parachute https://youtu.be/3CDyQXtBGBw?si=YMXZOqvkCLaaLamy&t=1457 https://youtu.be/3CDyQXtBGBw?si=YMXZOqvkCLaaLamy&t=1457
- manarth 7mo agoPeople who paraglide often launch (and land) on skis and can then use thermals to ascend above their launch site. No-one's flying to 11,000m though! (The highest recorded paraglider flight was 10,054m – unintentional, got sucked into a cumulonimbus cloud updraft - also lost consciousness).
